Description

You are a simple shepherd in the world of Tarmalon who one day discovers a panic-driven dying man by the roadside who carries a strange leather bound scroll and a golden bracelet. This begins the adventure in the race against time to destroy the evil scroll and those who wish to kill you to take its power for their own uses.

This role-playing game uses the same game engine as Questron. Your journey takes you through overlands, dungeons, towns, castles, oceans, pirate caves and inter-galactic museums to finally face the real threat to the world of Tarmalon. You will have to fight using weapons and magic, gamble, and trade items. Your character is rated for dexterity, strength, charm, endurance and intelligence - skillful play will maximize these.

Subject: My favorite from back in the day

I loved this game as a kid, and even today as an old fart, my brothers and I still talk about it. If we discover something in real life, or something good happens, we make that same sound from the game "Duh-duh-duh DUMMM!!!" like a bunch of weirdos. Love this game - emulator works great - (hit Alt-8 to switch disks.)

Subject: Question for the beginning of the game

One of the opening screens asks the player to insert a save game disk, going back to the time when a separate disk had to be formatted for game save. How is this accomplished, or bypassed, for this emulator?
